    This is a perfect spot for breakfast. Located in downtown Barrington canteen restaurant is the place to go for delicious briskets all day long. The food and service here is a 10/10. We tried the avocado toast with brisket & the smoked brisket with eggs. The brisket was absolutely delicious. Perfectly cooked and loved the smoky flavor. The Greek frappe iced coffee that was recommended by the host was amazing. I could have had two of those. The wait staff is so friendly and the restaurant has such good vibes. We were there for 2+hours and the staff checked on us often. I need to go back there asap and try other things on their menu.

    Well, we stopped in for breakfast for the first time and was greeted by Sammi, after ordering I decided on the brisket and eggs and my wife got the burnt ends and eggs and all we can say is service was amazing, Food was even better with the atmosphere being great and a little classic rock music playing in the background, what else can you ask for?

    Best breakfast and lunch around the Chicago area! Had breakfast there today for the first time (we normally are there for lunch), and everything was fantastic! Sammi was our server and was excellent and food was perfect. If you have not already done so, GO EAT at CANTEEN!!

    We came here on a Sunday morning around 9:30am and were seated immediately. The place was pretty full though, so come early! We ordered the brisket skillet which was delish and a good portion. I'd definitely go back!

    I ordered the El Diablo pulled pork sandwich. The pork had a delicate texture. It has a nice smoky scent; the amount of the pulled pork is quite generous. It was finished with coleslaw and pickle. It is presented in brioche buns. It has a zesty and sweet sauce. The sauce has a pleasant spice. I can't wait to return and sample more items from the menu.

    Amazing! Amazing! Amazing. Ordered the keto brisket skillet. Smoked brisket, eggs, onions, peppers, smothered in mozzarella, with balsamic glaze. It was fricken fantastic. My man ordered bananas foster crepes. All in all it was the best food I've put in my mouth in a very long

    The meat was tough, not hot, and no smoke. Poor. However, service was very good. Sadly, I will not return.

    Has anyone ordered takeout from here lately? I tried to call several times during open hours last week but the line just continued to ring. So bummed!

    Follow them on Facebook. They sent their smoker out for renovations and are doing some in the restaurant too. They're hoping to be back open soon.

    Trendy and cozy restaurant hidden off of Northwest Highway in Barrington. The best way to make sure…read moreyou get in on the weekend is either to go very early, but you're best off making a reservation. The service is amazing. Our server, Evelyn, had awesome energy. She was friendly and great at recommending dishes. The busboy (we didn't catch his name) was positive and attentive. The staff really make the spot wonderful. It's modern inside, dark paint, and updated decor. However it feels friendly with the trendy atmosphere. The way these dishes look also match the ambiance at the restaurant. We ordered lots of dishes and they mostly looked great! The Salat Roasted Beet Salad is fruity, thanks to the berries and citrus, with a pistachio whip on the bottom of the dish. It's a heavier dish for a salad, but absolutely delicious and fruity. I also had the San Francisco Style Cioppino was good, but I wasn't expecting it to be like a zupa di pesci, while the flavor was good, I was having FOMO of others eating monkfish and the walleye. The Cioppino had a Louisiana flavored sauce. There was a variety of fish which were all cooked and not overdone. It's a massive dish! We finished off with English Sticky Toffee Pudding and Italian Citrus Mascarpone Cake. The cake was amazing! It wasn't too tart and light. The sticky pudding was also delicious and very sweet. It's a very beautiful restaurant, service is great, the plates look amazing and tastes great. It's definitely a spot to try again!

    Will try again with all the good things people say about this place…read more So after all the hype. So many people have raved that this is the spot to go. I went and was underwhelmed my other friends did not have the same experience. They were more favorable. Ok to start. We got three appetizer the bacon, cauliflower, and onion soup. If i stopped with this it was great. Bacon had nice flavor and the pickle were intriguing and good., with a little kick. The cauliflower was fun and the sauce ban bang very good it had nice flavor with all the right notes only complaint was it was cold and not hot. My one friend said it was much better when they had it last time it was hot and good. I think the day we went they must have had kitchen problems I will try again at some point. The onion soup was probably my favorite thing this evening. It was so good and not over powered in any flavor note everything was perfect. So I should have stopped with this. I did have a glass of wine and it was very tasty and it tasted perfect. So if I say so this was an appetizer and maybe dessert place based on my visit. Two of us got the short ribs and one meatloaf was the three meals we chose. So my short ribs were so underwhelming I will start with the food was not hot when it came out. My meat was cooked perfectly and had a good bite to it. The down fall to my plate. The sauce had zero flavor. Maybe some salt could have helped a lil. I was expecting wonderful flavors like taste the port or any herb but it was just bland. The next was the tomato on the plate with the white cheese. The tomato had flavor but the cheese nine. When combined with the meat not a good mix. . It was almost as if it was added to put color but did not blend well with the meal. The meal was ok but again not hot. The best part of the plate was green beans had good flavor and tasty. So on to the next dish's my other friend did not have much to say about his short ribs but it was better last time he went. For the meatloaf they would comeback just for this alone. It was so good best ever. The only thing again was the sauce. Had no flavor. But I do see it was the same sauce port Demi glacé, They were thrilled with the way the beef tasted. I really want to try a dessert but after the experience I chose not to. I do think I would definitely go do appetizers and desserts again. Most restaurant guests had some dessert and it looked like they were enjoying what they got. They also seemed to have enjoyed their meals. So maybe it was just my luck. As for the waitstaff they were great kept the table clean water filled and kept the meal flowing. The server looked like maybe someone called off and was doing great. Managing all the tables with ease. The over all look and feel of the location was very well done nice and not cramped tables the had ample space that was nice The look was very welcoming. Will try again. But will he something different

    My cousin got married at Wild Onion, and the banquet space itself is absolutely beautiful. The main…read morereception hall features a large stone window behind the wedding party table, and there is a patio just outside that overlooks the water, which makes for a gorgeous setting. While Wild Onion is clearly a great venue for events, it is also a restaurant and brewery, so I am focusing this review more on the food and dining experience. We ate here for my cousin's wedding rehearsal dinner and were seated in a red carpeted room connected to the main reception hall. Unfortunately, this space felt out of place compared to the rest of the venue. It did not match the elegant vibe of the main hall and was a bit dark and dingy, which was somewhat off-putting at first. Service-wise, our waitress was wonderful. She was sweet, personable, and had a fun, upbeat personality that helped improve the overall experience right at the beginning. For my meal, I ordered the Kickin' Chicken Sandwich ($17). It is a hand-breaded chicken breast topped with honey garlic sauce, pepper jack cheese, bacon, chipotle mayo, and fried jalapenos. The sandwich had a really nice balance of flavors and was easy to eat, but despite the name, it was not spicy at all. I enjoyed it, though I did find the portion a bit small, and it did not fill me up. I chose cheese curds as my side, and those were a highlight. They were crispy, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. Also, because I am currently pregnant, I had an absolutely delicious mocktail. I sadly don't remember the name of the one I ordered, but I am here to say that it had a good balance of flavors. Overall, Wild Onion has a large menu with a wide variety of options, along with many different side choices, some for an additional charge. There truly is something for everyone. While the rehearsal dinner space itself was not ideal, the food, service, and overall selection still made for a positive experience.

    This is the first time that I've been to the Greggory I have been here a few times after as well…read more The first time that I was there, I was with my friend celebrating her birthday for brunch, and our waiter was kind of bro-ish and we didn't really enjoy him, but the food made up for that experience. I decided to come back a second time to see if that was the vibe for each of the waiters and it wasn't. They were very pleasant very knowledgeable and didn't say inappropriate things to us. The ambience was awesome if I could design my house to look like that, I would love it. It kind of reminds me of a cigar room. the food for brunch, and the food for dinner was exceptional. If I were to recommend one dish specifically, it would be the octopus I ordered that all three times and I dream about it because it was some of the best I've ever had. This is probably one of the better restaurants in the suburbs outside of the city so if you're willing to travel a little bit to the west suburbs, I highly recommend checking it out plus it is around a lot of things stores shops entertainment, so it wouldn't just be a one and done you can go to a movie and then have dinner just to make it worthwhile.

    Came here last weekend with my fiancé for her birthday and we had an amazing time…read more Our waitress was so nice and gave us a great rundown of the menu as it was our first time eating here. We ended up getting bread and two apps to start off to share. Couldn't have asked for a better way to start off our meals. Everything was great and a ton of good to share between us. We got the chicken and a pasta for our meals and we couldn't finish both because we were so full. We were very happy the next day to finish the food at home. Overall this is a great place for a date night or a place to celebrate a loved one. We will be coming back and have already told our family members they need to check this place out. I suggest getting a reservation as the place is packed!
